**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...] (This section helps Arrow developers understand the context and *why* for this feature, in addition to the *what*) I would like to be able to register a delta lake deltatable as a table from SQL as part of working on [datafusion-tui](https://github.com/matthewmturner/datafusion-tui). For example: ``` CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE dt STORED AS DELTATABLE LOCATION 's3://bucket/schema/table' ``` From what ive seen this would require adding a `FileType` and `FileFormat` for `deltatable` under `deltalake` feature, similar to how there is `avro` feature. While I understand a delta table isnt exactly a file type / format - i think for the purposes of what were doing with those it meets the definition. Ive played with querying delta tables before and they use `register_table` as opposed to `register_listing_table`. So i think we would just need to match based on `FileType` and then for delta table use `register_table` instead. **Describe the solution you'd like** A clear and concise description of what you want to happen. Enable deltatable `FileFormat` and `FileType` as features under `deltalake` **Describe alternatives you've considered** A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. **Additional context** Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
